#ActForGhouta

OVERVIEW OFTHE SITUATION:

For several years now, civilians in Eastern Ghouta and many other areas in Syria have been living under stringent military siege imposed by the Syrian regime and its allies. Civilians, civilian objects, services, and facilities have been indiscriminately and intentionally targeted by the Regime forces, causing among other difficulties a critical shortage of food, medical supplies, medicines, and basic living necessities and services. Following the recent escalation against the towns and villages of Eastern Ghouta on February, hundreds of thousands of civilians, including 115,000 children have been forced to flee to residential basements, many of which lack the very basic means of life. Due to constant and targeted heavy shelling, it is now impossible for any of those civilians to leave the basements in order to seek food or other necessities for themselves and their families.

SHAML REPORT

This tragic situation has led SHAML Coalition, Hurras Network, and other Syrian civil society organizations, to conduct this enquiry that aims to assess and explore the basic needs of the civilians in Eastern Ghouta, while recognizing of course that those needs barely cover the very minimum human requirements and necessities. We have therefore prepared this report to examine the best approach to provide these materials in a planned and rationalized manner according to the needs and order of importance. We also sought to conduct general statistics on refugee numbers, age groups, needs, shelter conditions and all other information that would be useful to donors when they address this humanitarian crisis.

VOICES OF THE BESIEGED:

what it makes it more painful that the person responsible for your death, the person you resisted with your words and work for seven years, this person took our homelands, he occupied it, celebrated and danced while he kicked us out and we remained without a homeland or a country, But your rights won’t be forgotten and one day we will hold accountable those who were responsible

THINGS YOU NEED OK KNOW ABOUT EDUCATION

BESIEGED DREAMS REPORT

Realizing the importance of the academic education pursuit by al Ghouta Campaign, we conducted a survey on university students from Eastern Ghouta who have been recently forcibly displaced to the North of Syria. We analyzed the findings of the questionnaire aiming to prepare this report to shed light on the impact of siege, persistent bombing, repeated displacement and forced displacement on the education reality, and the resulted challenges that hamper the students’ educational progress, hoping to find solutions for these challenges and improve the education status.
